The First Vortex Gathering

One day I was meditating and heard that I should go out in our pasture, find the Vortex, and gather people together around it at a certain time and day. I had a vision where the Vortex was located. My first thought was, Vortex (?) I don’t believe in Vortexes!

I did the usual thing that I do when I get something strange. I meditated two more times over the next few days. I just knew that this was too weird and all I needed to do was to really get quiet, centered, etc. so I could meditate clearly. However, the answers both times were clear. Find the Vortex and gather people at a particular time and date. So I went out in the pasture. Looking around, I took my Best Guess of where the Vortex might be. There was a large rock lying in the pasture not far away, so I picked it up and set it over the location. As I stood back and looked around, I thought, “this location does not look any different than a lot of other locations.” Immediately I heard, “you have no idea of what this looks like on other dimensions.” I also had a visual that this was a point where different lines in different dimensions connected. I got a chill up and down my spine.

I contacted my friends and family, inviting them to show up on the appointed day and time to experience the Vortex. I did no research on Vortexes (Why research something that you don’t believe in?) and had no idea what would happen. In spite of my inability to articulate both the situation and possible experience, my wife and three other people committed to showing up. One was a friend from Portland. It is about an eight-hour round-trip from Portland. She is very tuned-in, so I knew if she was coming, that something was up. This convinced me that I had heard something right.

On the designated day, we gathered in the front room of our house for a preliminary meditation, and then headed out for the Vortex. As we headed across the pasture, I could see my wife start to fall behind. After crossing the mud and water of the stream, we gathered in a circle around the rock. My wife stayed further away than the rest of us, and shortly after we started to turn within, she turned and headed for the house. The speed and her demeanor were clear; she was getting out of there.

The four of us stood in the four directions around the rock and generally had our eyes closed to focus on our inner senses. From time to time, someone spoke up about what they were experiencing. I remember that it was a cloudy Pacific Northwest day but that the light seemed kind of weird. I attributed this to the clouds. While others inwardly sensed and saw things I felt energy flowing, but I was not sure if it was because of the Vortex, the gathering of people, or just that I was quiet. If I get quiet, I usually am aware of energy, so my conclusion was that I really didn’t experience anything at the Vortex. Others did, including seeing our circle surrounded by beings. Guides, loved ones that have passed on, and some Native Americans, as I recall. Our experiences were very different. In fact, although people shared some similar perceptions, if there was a common thread, I would say that it was that each person’s experience was different.

When we returned to the house, much to my surprise, my wife was still there. “How come you left?” I asked. “Didn’t you hear that sound in the sky? She said. None of us had. “It was like the cosmic egg cracking; you have no idea what you are dealing with!”

As we gathered around and talked about our experiences, I shared that I had not experienced anything out of the ordinary. Then all of a sudden, I felt really strange. To this day I cannot describe how I felt. It was very disconcerting and I had no idea what was happening. I went into the library in our house, lay down on a couch, and quickly fell asleep. When I woke up after a nap, I felt fine. As a result of this experience, I wasn’t sure that Vortexes existed, but I had to admit that something happened.

I have held about four Vortex Gatherings a year since that first experience. Each person’s experience seems to have been somewhat different, except for those that have not noticed anything. I continue to get direction in meditation on when to have the gatherings and over time I have come to accept that what is, is.
